ufc 168: Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva II - fight lines

UFC 168: Weidman vs Silva 2 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on December 28, 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event is expected to be headlined by a Middleweight Championship bout between the current champion Chris Weidman and former champion Anderson Silva. The two previously met at UFC 162 with Weidman winning via knockout in the second round, earning the title.

Not only will Weidman vs. Silva II headline UFC 168 on Dec. 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the event’s original headliner between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate will remain on the card as the co-main event.

Weidman upsetting Silva poured water on years of talk about Silva matching up with either Jon Jones or Georges St-Pierre in a superfight. White said on Saturday that all the talk about the hypothetical superfights doesn’t currently matter; this rematch is the biggest fight that he could promote right now.

“This fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman will be the biggest fight in history,” he declared. “This is the biggest fight out there right now, and that’s saying a lot.”
